Note
 z If the projector is operated with the remote control or on the control panel, or by the control command while 
controlling the projector by using the 

Art-Net function, the setting of the DMX controller and the computer 
application may be different from the projector status. In that case, set the “Lock” setting of the channel 7 to 
“Operation not available” and then reset to “Operation available”.  The controls of all channels become reflected 
to the projector.

Attention
 zIf a command is transmitted after the lamp starts illuminating, there may be a delay in response or the 
command may not be executed. 

Try sending or receiving any command after 60 seconds.
 zWhen transmitting multiple commands, be sure to wait until 0.5 seconds has elapsed after receiving the 
response from the projector before sending the next command.
Note
 z If a command cannot be executed, a “ER401” response is sent from the projector to the computer
.
 zIf an invalid parameter is sent, a “ER402” response is sent from the projector to the computer
.
 zID transmission in RS-232C supports ZZ (ALL) and 01 to 64, as well as 0A
 to 0Z groups.
 zIf a command is sent with a specified ID, a response will be sent to the computer only in the following cases.
–

▶
It matches the projector ID
–

▶
ID setting is set to 
 ALL and [RESPONSE(ID ALL)] is [ON]
–
▶
ID setting is set to GROUP
  and [RESPONSE(ID GROUP)] is [ON]
 zSTX and ETX are character codes. STX shown in hexadecimal is 02, and ETX shown in hexadecimal is 03.
